SUMMARY

The Audi A7 Sportback exclusive edition is a limited-production version of the Audi A7 Sportback introduced by Audi Japan in November 2025. Created under the “Audi exclusive” program, the model combines bespoke exterior and interior finishes with the established performance of the A7 Sportback 55 TFSI quattro. Like its A6 Avant counterpart, production was restricted to only 15 units for the Japanese market.

OVERVIEW

Positioned as a more expressive interpretation of the A7 Sportback, the exclusive edition highlights the flexibility of Audi’s bespoke design program. It builds on the A7’s signature blend of coupé-like styling, sedan comfort, and hatchback practicality, while emphasizing individuality through unique color combinations and materials. The limited edition continues Audi Japan’s tradition of offering small-run, design-focused models tailored to local clientele.

DESIGN & EXTERIOR

The A7 Sportback exclusive edition features a distinctive two-tone exterior finished in Ascari Blue Metallic with a contrasting Brilliant Black roof. The combination accentuates the car’s flowing roofline and sculpted proportions, giving it a more dynamic visual balance. Complementing the color scheme are anthracite black 21-inch 5V-spoke trapezoid design wheels, darkened headlight housings, and black Audi rings. The package delivers a sportier and more assertive look while preserving the A7’s refined silhouette. A panoramic sunroof is standard, enhancing cabin brightness and emphasizing the car’s grand touring appeal.

INTERIOR & MATERIALS

Inside, the A7 Sportback exclusive edition adopts a cool, modern color palette designed by Audi exclusive. The cabin features a Diamond Silver and Ocean Blue interior theme with S sport seats upholstered in Balcona leather, complete with embossed “S” logos. Decorative trim pieces in carbon twill structure add a high-tech aesthetic, contrasting against the lighter tones of the seating and door panels. Ocean Blue seatbelts, detailed stitching, and piping on the floor mats provide subtle continuity throughout the cabin, creating a unified and contemporary atmosphere that distinguishes this edition from the standard A7 Sportback.

POWERTRAIN & PERFORMANCE

Power comes from a 3.0-liter V6 TFSI engine with mild hybrid technology, delivering 340 PS (250 kW) and 500 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission and Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive system. This setup allows for confident, balanced handling and efficient cruising, aided by a decoupling mechanism that can disengage the rear axle under light loads to improve fuel efficiency. The model’s top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h.

TECHNOLOGY & EQUIPMENT

The A7 Sportback exclusive edition is equipped with a comprehensive technology package, emphasizing comfort and advanced connectivity. Standard features include a Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system with 16 speakers, wireless smartphone charging, a heated three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, and power-closing doors. Additional touches such as a black glass-look control panel and extended aluminum trim complete the model’s refined and futuristic interior aesthetic.

PRODUCTION & PRICING

Audi produced only 15 examples of the A7 Sportback exclusive edition, all for the Japanese domestic market. Each unit was priced at ¥13,450,000 (including tax) at launch and sold through Audi’s authorized dealer network. With its bold color contrasts, bespoke craftsmanship, and limited availability, the A7 Sportback exclusive edition represents one of the most individualized interpretations of Audi’s four-door coupé, blending performance with progressive luxury in a distinctly Japanese specification.
